I am praying for that. PRAYING.It would be hilarious if he buys Twitter.
If he did it would become irrelevant overnight. The virtue signalling celebrities would go elsewhere along with the pozzed companies. Plus the media would do a hatchet job on it.It would be hilarious if he buys Twitter.
Let me play devil’s advocate for a moment…My cold take is that none of these social media ventures work because the take a long time to reach critical mass and self sustain profitability. Musk isn't going to dump billions into a social media prospect that may turn a 100 million dollar profit by 2035. Twitters first year of net profits was q4 of 2017. And it nets a couple hundred million. Sure there's shady shit going on, now, but you need to hit an inflection point of influence for anyone to even give a shit.
You need enough users to be able to generate interest from advertisers, and you need enough influential activity to even be able to sell the user data like fb does. Investors won't give you enough until then and you can't support the massive infrastructure needed without the cash infusion. Why would Elon risk his entire fortune for a high risk gamble that nets him nothing for a decade.
If he did that Elon would be equal to Mel status.It would be hilarious if he buys Twitter.

Not ridiculous, but not plausible. Dot points because I'm lazy.Elon Musk is worth over $250 billion. Twitter’s estimated value is $15-30 billion. Many billionaires take on pet projects with their money. Some buy sports team; others start foundations. What if Musk said: let me buy an existing media communication platform like Twitter and change it to open source.. turn it into a communication platform of the people. Is that a ridiculous hypothetical?
Really thought you were going to say "Thunderf00t" there. He's got a PhD in chemistry, and hours and hours of videos walking through why various Musk schemes won't work, followed by "I told you so" videos when they don't work.if you want a comprehensive breakdown of this, and I mean comprehensive - the dude has like 20,000 hours of meticulously dissecting Musk - look up “common sense skeptic” on YouTube.

He's an obnoxious cunt, but it's hard to fault his well-researched arguments, particularly when he cuts to a clip of Musk telling you that it won't work.
One of them's a billionaire and the other one is an euphoric fedora tipper who does nothing of note. It's easy to never make mistakes if you live that way.Really thought you were going to say "Thunderf00t" there.
